There are also other taxes to be considered such as the capital gains tax. I know how it goes in Spain but I have no idea how much I will pay for that in UK... If it is better, maybe I should take my money there?
Capital gains in Spain is 18% now I think for resident or non resident. In the UK its up to 40% ... heres a link Capital Gains Tax (CGT) : Directgov - Money, tax and benefits

IHT is crippling in Spain ..... hardly any allowances for it, whereas in the UK its going to be around £300k soon allowance wise.

There IS a double taxation treaty ... you might get double taxed when you first change, but you can re claim and wont end up paying twice.
